A FIRST.CLASS LUMBER YARD
Fitted Up and Stocked In This City by
H. z. Burkhart.

Fitted Up and Stocked In This City by
H. z. Burkhart.
HALEY has at last got 6rst-class
lumber yard--such one as would be
a credit even to city of 10000 in.
habitants. H. 2. Burkhart, who en-
gagged in the business about six weeks
ago, has finally got his place in shape
to transact any quantity of business
that may be required of it.
His yard at the corner of Croy and
Main streets, opposite the TINES
office, occupies two lots 3Ox12O, and
he has the privilege of using the two
lots in rear, running to River street.
In his yard proper he has two sheds
2Ox12O feet, with wide roadway be-
tween, where teams can conveniently
stand and load from either side of the
yard. In these sheds the various di.
mansions of rough and planed lumber,
holdings, pickets, lath, ETC., and the
sash, doors, blinds, wire windows and
doors are kept, everything being so
arranged as to facilitate inspection by
customers.
Mr.. Burkhart makes a specially OF
mining timbers, but he also intends to
keep on hand all kinds of choice
building material-and none but the
choicest. For instance: his lath aud
pickets come from Chicago; holdings
from Portland, Omaha, and Chicago;
and so on. All this comes in car
lots, SO that supply adequate to the
demand is always on hand, and at
prices that can scarcely be duplicated
by any one doing a legitimate bust
ness.
Although Mr.. Burkhart carries a
heavy stock at his yard, it is but a
small part of it. In fact, only sample
lots are kept there, most of the stock
being stored at the large stone ware
house and yard on Carbonate street,
near S. J. Friedman's residence. This
would be quite inconvenient did not
Mr.. Burkhrrt have his own team; but
with it the division of his stock is an
advantage, as he can deliver from
either place, while, at the same time,
one-half Of his goods is always secure
from fire.
Mr.. Burkhart having supplied a
long-felt want by opening and fitting
up his yard, he will undoubtedly do
we'll.

since last year. OF tho Galore
Stormy and West Richmond group
he says:
THE GALORE STORMY.
A mine that is certainly making for
itself a good reputation is the Galore,
now working seven men, with Robert
Mcdonald as foreman. 1t is another
producer from the grass roots, and the
ore taken out Of high grade. Twelve
tons of ore were recently shipped to
HALEY, and there is a good supply
left in the ore house awaiting ship
ment. Two men are working on ore,
the remainder prospecting the mine.
The Galore is one of the reliable
mines of Smoky district, and only
waits development to be one of the
best producers on its side of the hill.
The litigation over possession of the
mine has reached an amicable settle
ment, and the owners now propose to
work the property to its full extent.
With the wind-up Of the seasons
work it will be found that the value
of the Galore will be greatly en-
HANGED and the owners have DO
nanza on their hands.
The quantity of ore recently ship.
ped to Haley exceeded IL tons-the
TIMES is informed. Fourteen tons of
the lot netted the owners over $500.
This is his report on the Tyrannis,
which adjoins the above-named group:
THE TYRANNIs.
A short distance from the Stormy
mine is found the Tyrannis, owned by
James McCarter and j. H. Reedy.
During the past two months the mine
has been under lease to Charles Davis,
who has 65 tons of first-class ore to
show for his work. The tunnel has
been driven a distance of $50 feet
and crosscut run for rs feet. A
fine vein of ore has been struck in
the breast of the tunnel, while there
still remains considerable amount of
high grade ore in the older workings
Mr.. McCarter resides near the mine,
and will have four men at work dur
ing the season. The ore is shipped
to Omaha for reduction.

We regret very much that this
paper must Ego to press" before we
have had time to get the exact facts
and to fully mature our views about
this new proposition touching the
debt. The telegraph to the San con-
tains some evident mistakes and the
statement is so meager that VIC are
not certain, we entirely understand
the proposition.
1t seems that the agents of the
certificate holders offer to sell to
West Virginia $4,000, 900 of certifi-
Gates: the price to be the sum which
the Commissioners appointed in
1872, (Gen'l Jackson, Of ParlSers-
burg, j. NJ. Bennett of Weston and
Archie Campbell of the Wheeling
Intellsgencer, reported as our's.qui-
table share" of the Virginia debt:
this price is to be paid in bonds
bearing such rate of interest as may
be fixed by the Legislature. Ifthis
be the proposition, then we are pre-
pared to say as follows:
l. The proposition is entirely diff
ferent from what was proposed by
those who originally formulated the
movement and, in our judgment,
the certificate holders will be the
losers by it. But that is their look
out,-not ours.
2. If the Legislature acts ;rItelli.
gently, they may be able to do this
State and infinite service. An unex-
pected but very favorableopportuni-
ty is presented.
8. The bonds to be issued ought
not to commence to bear interest for
three years. Agree upon the amount
and thereby establish, beyond con-
tradiction, that we do not owe $751;
100000. Let the interest commence
after foreign capital has come in to
develope our natural wealth. The
certificates are owned by the class
of people in New York, England,

We have many times dcmorstra-


We have many times demorstra-
ted that the exemption statute ex-
onerates from taxation SIS of COM
mercial property for every 81 of az
ricultural property. 1t amused us
to hear the representatives of coal
mines, oil wells, boombs and facto-
ries plead piteously IN behalf of "the
poor down trodden farmer" and We
wondered how long 1t would be be-
fore our friends Of tire plow" real,
lied that they were being plucked
instead of being fattened. The
more intelligent farmers have now
walked up to the truth and they de-
mand that each and every item of
property (bank capital and pig) shall
be taxed according to value. 1t
seems, however, the Republican pol
iticians are able to still longer de-
lude their followers, and, strange to
relate, the Republican farmers in
the Legislature continue to vote in
favor of taxing the many for the
benefit of the few, these few being
the very ones best able to pay their
just share of the cost Of government.
A bill to repeal exemptions has
passed the House, the Democrats
voting one way and the Republicans,
with one Democrat, voting the other
way. We are advised from Charles
ton that this good work was mainly
due to the efforts of Col. Chew, who,
(although the measure was intro
duced by Chipley) being chairman
of the finance committee, was charg-
ed with the leadership, and who
proved himself entirely competent
for his duties. We print from the
Register an outline of one of his
speeches during the debate, but a
gentleman who was present tells US
that it gives very poor idea of his
arguments. Time and again he
struck sledge-hammer blows that
went down to the very roots and ex-
posed the infinite absurdity Of sup
posing that the farming class can
be benefited by these exemptions
when the amount exempted for ag
riculture is less than q tenth of the
amount exempted to the commercial
class. Chew's presence in the Leg
islature has been of incalculable
benefit to the material interest of
this State.

PUBLIC MEETING.

y At meeting of Democrats Of
Hampshire CO., held at the Court
House in Romney on Tuesday / :,
day of FEBRUARY, 1887, (being court
day., John S. Pancake was called to
the chair and B. f. Mcdonald made
Secretary. The following resolution
was unanimously adopted and its
publication respectfully asked by
newspapers in the state.
Resolred, That we, Democrats of
Hampshire Co., in public meeting
assembled, do most heartily endorse
the position taken by portion of
the peoples representatives in the
State Legislature upon the Senator
ial question in behalf of the people
against monopoly, power of wealth
and the influence of Federal office
holders in the State, and we declare
it is our honest conviction that they
should maintain their opposition as
it is 1.-The interest of the purity of
party politics, of sound government
and the only hope for the preserya-
ton of the principles Of Democracy
in the State; and that we most
earnestly exhort the said represen-
tativcs, (that though our Senators
in Congress may leave their post of
duty in order to dissuade, though
Federal e-holders may surround
them. and adjure them, though the
adherents Of wealth and monopoly
may seek to deter them) to stand
firm in the maintenance of the peoples
rights and interests, against the
powers that seek to destroy them.

EXEMPTIONS.
chew's Reply to Hagans.

Mr. Chew called attention to the
fact that the argument of the
gentleman from Monongalia was
based almost exclusively on
the assertion that West Vir-
ginia in passing the Statute exempt
ed live stock, manufactured products,
etc., followed the example Of old Vir-
ginia, whose Constitution had
clause similar 10 the provision in
that of West Virginia. In this he
is in error, as / find this clause in
the Constitution Of 1851. ''Other
taxable property may be exempted
from taxation by the vote of ma
jority of the whole number of mem
bers elected to each house OF the
General Assembly" The Constitu-
ton of 1853 provides that all prop
erty shall be taxed, but adds the fol-
lowing-"but property used for ed
vocational, literary, scientific, relig-
ious or charitable purposes and pub.

tits frequently said that the farm
ing vote is able to control legisla-
ton. Those who talk thus seem to
forget that the corporations have
their attorneys in and out of Con-
gress and State Legislatures and
that the guns of monopoly are always
pointed upon the unorganized inter-
ests of the masses Of the people.
This is strikingly illustrated by the
fact that, in an agricultural State
like West Virginia, it is practically
impossible to obtain intelligent Leg
islation to equalize taxation.

PHIL1rpI, Feb. 10th, 1887.


The despicable methods Of Mr..
Camden and his underlings in their
efforts to seduce and bully Legisla-
tors into voting for him have scarce
" q parallel in the annals of politi
cal contests. And the more desper-
ate his cause becomes the more con-
temptible the assaults of the vulgar
natures from among whom he has
recruited his plant and servile
tools. To refuse to go into caucus,
or to fall down and worship Mr..
Camden as the very and only trne
God of Democracy, whose absolute
rights to bis allegiance no Democrat
must dispute without having his
Democracy questioned, is the stage
that has been reached in the Sena-
torial contest, and the twelve true
men-true to their oATHs, true to
the PEOPLE, true to their STATE, and
true to the cause Of Democracy and
of PURE and HONEST GOVERNMENT,
they and their friends are subjected
to the criticism, denunciation and
abuse of pamphletcers, penny a.
liners, hired scribblers and the horde
of strikers. ward -heelers and place
men who move and dance like pup
pets at the nod and beck Of Mr..
Camden.
West Virginia Democrat. [volume] (Charles Town, W. Va.) 1885-1890, 1887-02-18

1t is believed in Charleston that
Mr.. Camden's recent visit to Wash
ington was for the purpose ofinduc-
ing certain Republican Senators to
exert their influence to procure for
him Republican votes.
The situation is this: The Re-
publican caucus has made its nomi-
nation and the proposition is for Re
publicans to desert their own nomi-
nee in order to vote for the nominee
of the Democratic caucus.

SUcclal 10 tilc DuAttiihoAo ~"'''
= CHARLESTON, Feb, 17.-An uncx-
.pected turn was taken by the Senate
this morning when the bill which
had been passed by the lower house
ito prohibit the sale Of intoxicating
liquors and drinks within the State
came mp for its passage. The oppo
nents of the bill discovered the fact
that they conld not defeat it, and
in order to do the next best thing,
they called for the vote on the joint
resolution which provides for the
submission of the question to the
people of prohibiting the manufac-
ture and sale of Intoxicating liquors
in the State" which had not yet
been announced. Upon the call OF
the vote on submission three MEM
bers who had voted against submis
sion changed their votes to yea,
which gave the resolution a two
thirds majority. The submission
will be voted on in November, 1888,
at the next general election. The
lower house passed the resolution
two weeks ago. The bill prohibit
ing the sale of liquors and drinks
was then laid on the table. The
prohibitionists are very enthusiastic
over their victory.
Mr.. j. G. Maben and Z. s. Jemi-
son, committee representing the
holders of 100000, of what are
know as the West Virginia deferred
certificates, today presented to the
Legislature communication recit-
ing that these certificates to the
amount Of about 81 100000, were is
sued by the State of Virginia in
1871. Prior to that time the mother
State had arbitrarily assmcd that
West Virginia should bear one-third
of the ante bellum debt of the un-
divided State; but in 1861 the
Wheeling ordinance was passed. By
agreement of commissioners repre-
senting the two States fixing the
proportion of the debt justly charge
able to West Virginia for the $l2,-
100000, certificates issued under
the funding act of 1871. The
above is unintelligible. In 1872
West Va. appointed Commissioners
who estimated our share at about q
million and interest.-Ed. Dem.) Va.
holds in trust her unredeemed bonds.
Of this ST., 100000, the State holds
in various funds about SO, 600, 900,
of the remaining 100000, or so;
100000, are deposited at the Far
mers' Loan and Trust Company in
New York, and Messrs, Maben and
Jemison represent the holders of
these 100000. They propose to
turn over TO the State the certificates
in exchange for bonds Of date
of maturity to be fixed by the Legis-
lature to such an amount, with in
terest to the date of the proposed
settlement, as was reported by her
duly appoited commissioners in 1871
to be due by West Virginia, which
report was duly received and ratified
by the Legislature. This is the
first proposition ever made to the
State by the holders of the certiti-
Gates. The State has always held
herself ready to settle on an equit.
able basis. The committees pro-
posal was referred by each house to
its finance Committee.

The II gentlemen who are resist
ing monopoly are ready to accept
any true Democrat who will repre-
sent the people. The newspaper
clamOr is but the jingling of Mr..
Camden's money, and must not be
mistaken for the voice of the party.
Newspaper clamor is not the
voice of the people. 1t is only a
fostering on the surface which is the
outcrOpping of corruption that
monopoly has planted close to the
vital organs of the body polite.
II Mr.. Camden's presence in the
Senate was not so valuable to the
railroads and to the Standard Oil
Company he would retire from the
contest and relieve the party of the
only disturbing element.
This is not a contest for the SUI
premscy Of party organization; it is
a struggle between Democratic prin-
ciples and misuse of the party ma
ehinery. 1t is struggle between
politicians who would substitute the
demOralizing influence of a corrup-
ton fund for Democratic ideas and
Democratic doctrines. The party
will not live a day if it becomes ap-
parent to the people that success
means the supremacy of monopoly.
1t IS not question of party organi-
cation but whether the party shall
be sacrificed because a seat in the
Senate is valuable to monopoly. It
is not an issue between u men and
the majority; it is question be-
tween one man and the will of the
people. Is it true, Mr.. Camden is
the only citizen of this State fit for
the Senate? Isittrue that the wheels
OF Government must stop because
one man insists that he alone shall
be Senator? If the u demanded the
election of any particular gentleman
there might be some excuse for the
obstinacy Of Mr.. Camden's parti-
Fans, but the II gentlemen offer to
support any true Democrat who is
not connected with monopoly. and
who believes in clean and honorable
politics.
II the people are wise, they will
stand by and encourage the men
men who resist the temptations
offered by monopoly.
II the people are wise, they will
sustain the men who are vilified by
yenal press because they refuse to
betray the public interest.
Let us reward those who show
themselves faithful to the public
interest.
